Spring Seed

" Even without you... All living things in this world, in whichever dimension it is, will surely die. It's just that sometimes we are in the moment such an event happens and get involved in it. But that doesn't mean it all happens because of us, it's all just a part of destiny. And it's not your fault... " The way she was staring at him felt like she was tried to bringing back the real him in life. There is no such judgment in her eyes. Her eyes was to captivating.

The earth girl Dan Oh's words have been ringing in prince Woon's ears since last night. Woon smiled for many times everytime he remembered the high school student's words that he heard. Inexplicably hearing her words makes Woon begin to want to believe that he was not someone to blame for all the destruction and death streak that occurred on the Mirac Planet. Woon begins to want to believe that Dan Oh's words are true. It gave a little calmness and breadth of heart inside Woon's chest that had long felt so claustrophobic.

"Is it really not my fault?" muttered the prince to himself. He was laying and resting his body on one of the large branches on the top of surrounding tree.

The prince looked down and saw that the members of his entourage were still fast asleep in their respective positions. The women slept soundly on the grass under a large tree. Siera appears to be in the middle between Key and Dan Oh. The two women from the planet Mirac appear to sleep gracefully and calmly in contrast to the high school girl from Earth who sleeps in a pose that does not show the elegance of any girl in any other world. Her right leg buckled while her left leg hitched a ride on it. Her hands opened upwards, she appeared to sleep more like a man than a woman

Meanwhile Gwi slept in an upright sitting position under a tree not far from the women. His instincts as bodyguards kept him close from the princess he had to protect. The werewolf fell asleep while folding his hands in front of his chest, he didn't look like a sleeping person and just looked like he was closing his eyes. Well.... The man was always alert even when he was asleep. It is so rare for him sleep while lying down. On the other side of the tree Ryu fell asleep with the position of the body leaning on a large root emerging from the ground. Sometimes the man turned around and hugged the root like he was hugging the pillow.

Woon looked towards the still dark sky, the sun hadn't yet brought itself up. The prince decided to close his eyes again and take a short break before continuing his long Journey.

It was morning, the sun was high above the sky. Hwon's royal entourage was preparing to continue its journey back to north. Woon had just finished washing his face with fresh lake water then walked back to his entourage. When he returns, the prince sees Dan Oh forcing Ryu to accompany her to approach Gwi. The girl occasionally pushed Ryu's body or pulled his arm. She looked embarrassed and also a little scared but still seemed so enthusiastic.

"Commander-in-chief, Dan Oh wants to tell you something," Ryu told his superiors about the little girl's insistence. Gwi turned his eyes to the two of them and asked Dan Oh what she wanted from him.

"Em.... Commander Gwi... You are so strong and great at martial arts, I've always admired strong people like you... Your hands seem very strong. I also want to be able to be like this" the girl approached Gwi slowly. She carefully held Gwi's burly arm covered in his shirt and felt his muscles. His muscular arms were perfectly formed. Gwi just noticed her gesture and let the girl hold his arm without giving any response and looked at her with a flat expression.

"waah.... Absolutely perfect!" said Dan Oh, being amazed of Gwi's perfect body and musclr. She turned toward Ryu with an excitement in her eyes. The young and cheerful man came closer and imitated Dan Oh's gesture toward Gwi. He also held another arm of the werewolf. In an instant Gwi was surrounded by two of the loudest and cheerful people on his right and left arms.

"Indeed! Very strong and perfect!" praised Ryu to his superiors. He had always admired the power of his superior commander.

He also wanted to hold it directly and feel Gwi's burly muscles since a very long time ago but never had the opportunity and courage to do so. Ryu feels like he has a chance now and excitedly smiles with Dan Oh before checking the commander-in-chief's respons toward him.

Gwi didn't mind it when Dan Oh did that to him, but when Ryu follow her to touch him, the man immediately glared at his subordinates with a menacing look. This gesture makes Ryu remove his hand from Gwi's arm automatically. The young man smiled stiffly at the werewolf then raising his hands in the thin air awkwardly.

"What do you want to learn?" asked Gwi to the little girl who hadn't stopped admiring his stocky arms.

"I want to hit the tree until it fell like that," said Dan Oh excitedly as she pointed towards the large tree that had just been toppled by Gwi's punch.

Yes, sometimes the werewolf trained his muscle strength to uproot trees or destroy large stones. When Gwi punched the trunk of the tree with his punch, in an instant the strong and stocky wood broke into two horizontal parts and toppled it to the ground.

Gwi smile after listening to Dan Oh's words. There was a time when he liked this chatty girl, which was a time when she would enthusiastically acknowledged his physical strength and watching him in admiration. But once the girl spoke loudly and horrifiedly, sometimes the werewolf really wanted to shut her out and make her silence. Her character is a total opposite of Gwi who is a calm and serius guy.

"Alright then, firstly clench your hands like this," Gwi said, giving Dan Oh an example and clenching his hands firmly. Dan Oh and Ryu imitate Gwi's punching style seriously and meticulously.

"That's not how you do that, your index finger should be like this." said Gwi automatically holding Dan Oh's right hand with both of hands and then justifying the girl's fist. Ryu continues to follow Gwi's instructions and imitates everything like him even though the werewolf keep ignoring him.

" You have to focus your energy here," Gwi continued as he hold Dan Oh's fist. The girl's tiny hands were able to be grasped perfectly by Gwi's large hand. From a distance prince Woon was observing the two, he noticed Dan Oh and Gwi's behavior from where he stood. A frown appeared on his forehead for many times when he saw the way Gwi treated the little girl and Dan Oh's behavior who was just silently looked at Gwi carefully while nodding. The girl didn't seem troubled as the werewolf held tightly onto her hand.

"You have to be able to focus all of your energy and feel it flowing here," Gwi said as he stroked Dan Oh's arm from shoulder to wrist indicating the direction of the flowing of energy that the girl should focus on.

"And stop here, then Bang!!! Hit with full force and concentrate," continued the werewolf ending his explanation while shaking both hands of Dan Oh who clenched strongly. Dan Oh just nodded attentively.

All the physical touch Gwi made to Dan Oh seemed to disturb the Prince a lot. He was about to warn Gwi to stop doing it but suddenly the wolf man had released his grasp hurriedly and looked rather clumsy.

Gwi accidentally aware that princess Siera is looking towards their direction with her flat expression. He felt like he had made a mistake because he was easily to make physical contact with the earth girl especially in the presence of the princess. Siera didn't actually say anything and just looked at him silently and expressionlessly but that was enough to make the werewolf become too self-conscious. As soon as he let go of Dan Oh's hand he immediately walked quickly towards the princess.

"Then Bang!!!" Ryu said then violently hitting a large tree nearby just like the instructions given by Gwi. But unlike Gwi who managed to topple a tree in one hit, Ryu instead felt tremendous pain in his hands from hitting a hard object.

" yak! Commander! All your words are just a nonsense. That's all applied to you because you have a super strong power above the average human being. Your theory doesn't apply to us!" Ryu protested loudly to the commander-in-chief. Gwi turned his head for a moment then rolled his eyes, unwilling to listen to the junior's babble. Ryu's face reddened and his eyes were almost crying as he endured the pain.

" Are you okay?" Dan Oh asked and looking at the poor Ryu with an expression full of pity.

"Ooh Dan Oh, Don't ever again to ask the commander-in-chief to teach you martial arts, he's no ordinary human being. You wolf!" Ryu's whimpers was like a spoiled little boy who complaining about his friend's mischief to his mother.

"Ooh it must be hurt so much huh... Let's me try to check" Dan Oh gently held Ryu's hand and healed his bruises with the crystal power she had. The wound and pain disappeared Instantly.

"Hehe.... As long as you're here I won't be worry if I get hurt." Ryu raised his hand in the air and interlocking his fingers on the fingers of Dan Oh's hand who had just healed him. The two looked at each other and smiled happily.

"Right! Don't worry, just leave it all to me!" said Dan Oh proudly and patted her chest with the other hand. Woon couldn't take it anymore, he immediately walked up to Dan Oh and Ryu then appeared among them.

"Let it go" The prince took the hands of the two of them and forcibly released their interlocking finger. He stood between them and give some spaced between the two so they could't not sticked close together again.

"Stop... Stop practicing, we have to immediately continue the journey" said Woon flatly before finally passing them away leaving the two people who are still shocked by his sudden appearance

" Allright..." Dan Oh and Ryu answered together. The two exchanged glances and shrugged in response to the prince's behavior. Then they followed Woon's footsteps and walked behind him.

The six human continued their journey through the forest towards the North. Woon led the pace of his entourage then followed in quick succession by Siera behind him and continued by Dan Oh and Key. Gwi was behind Key while Ryu was in the back last row.
